DIMMU BORGIR To Begin Recording New Album Today

October 10, 2006

Norwegian symphonic black metallers DIMMU BORGIR are about to commence the recording sessions for their new album at Studio Fredman in Gothenburg, Sweden with Fredrik Nordström.

Commented guitarist Silenoz: "Finally we arrived in Studio Fredman. It's now located outside Gothenburg in a godforsaken place in the middle of fucking nowhere, which couldn't be more perfect.

"Things started not as planned, as usual, as we found out already before departure that we were a car short because of calculating the amount of equipment totally wrong. But hey, we're just musicians and we're spoiled having the crew taking care of that usually, so in lack of further excuses we blame it on them and their absence...

"Anyhow, Hellhammer [DIMMU BORGIR guest drummer, of MAYHEM fame] phoned a friend of his and luckily he was free to help us out driving it down to In The Middle of Nowhere. Thanks, Espen!

"We'll start tracking drums tomorrow [Tuesday, Oct. 10] and we'll try and keep you guys posted on what's happening. We're very excited about the new material and can't wait to get started!"

DIMMU BORGIR's current recording lineup is as follows:

Shagrath - Vocals
Silenoz - Guitars
Galder - Guitars
Vortex - Bass
Mustis - Keys
Hellhammer - Drums

Silenoz previously stated about the new CD, "It will be a story-based album with lyrics written accordingly and music wise it'll be…let's see….hmmm… very DIMMU BORGIR! We can't wait to have this monster finished and share it with our fans as they have been extremely patient with us, but we promise — it'll be well worth all the wait!"

DIMMU BORGIR recently became the first band on the Nuclear Blast USA roster to sell more than 100,000 copies of a full-length album with their "Death Cult Armageddon" (2003) release, according to sales figures provided by Nielsen SoundScan.

DIMMU BORGIR's video for the track "Sorgens Kammer – Del II" has been posted online at NuclearBlast.de (Real Media). The clip was shot last fall in Sweden with director Patric Ullaeus of Sweden's Revolver Film Company.

"Sorgens Kammer – Del II" is one of the new tracks included on the updated, re-recorded version of DIMMU BORGIR's 1996 album, "Stormblåst", which was released in Europe in November via Nuclear Blast Records (the North American release followed in February). The album was completely re-recorded with producer Peter Tägtgren (HYPOCRISY, PAIN) and MAYHEM's Hellhammer on drums.
